~Senior Adults~
(For those of us who have had a ' LOT " of birthdays !!)
A little gray hair is a small price to pay
for all this accumulated wisdom.
~~~
Age before beauty.
~~~
Age does not determine who's right,
it only determines who's left!
~~~
Age is a matter of mind
and if you don't mind
it don't matter !!
~~
Age is a number, old is in your head.
Age is a number, and mine is unlisted.
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
~~~
Age is like fine wine....
it gets better with time !!
~~~
Age isn't important unless you're cheese.
As you grow older, you stand for more and fall for less.
~~~
At fifty a woman is
every young mans dream girl.
We don't swell; we don't tell; we are as grateful as hell.
Not quite over the hill yet.
Just got a darn good view of the valley below.
~~~
At my age...
I've got achy, breaky everything !!
~~~
At my age...
I've seen it all...I've heard it all...
I've done it all....
I just can't remember it all...
~~~
Beautiful young people are acts of nature,
but beautiful old people
are works of art.

Better to have bad breath than no breath at all !!
~~~
Birthday's are good for you.
The more you have the longer you live.

Born in the USA.....a long time ago !!

By the time you reach middle age,
you've already met so many people
that every new acquaintance reminds
you of someone else.
~~~
Classic, Genuine, Antique Person...
They just don't make 'em like this anymore!!
~~~
Count your life by smiles, not tears.
Count your age by friends, not years.
~~~
Do not regret growing old....it is a privilege denied many...!
Don't let an old person crawl into your body !
Enjoy getting older, the alternative is death ~!~
Ever stop to think...And forget to start again?
Few people know how to be old.
50 is the age of discovery....you discover you're old!!!

First, I was a good BOY,
Then, I became a nice KID,
I was then a great GUY,
Later, I grew up to be a fine MAN,
Now, I'm just an old FART !!

Forty is the old age of youth;
Fifty is the youth of old age.

( this was sent in by a visitor to this site who heard
this from a 60+ year old friend who had been ill )
~~~
I am not young enough to know everything !!!
~~~
I am old enough to sleep by myself
and young enough not to want to have to.
~~~
I have a photographic memory.
Unfortunately, it no longer offers
same day service.
~~~
I just let my mind wander, and it didn't come back.
~~~
I look in the mirror and what do I see,
but little wrinkles creeping up on me!
~~~
I'd rather be over the hill than under it.
~~~
If life begins at 40....
What ended at 39 ???
~~~
If you can afford to go First Class and don't....
your heirs will !
~~~
If you carry your childhood with you...
you'll never become older.
~~~
If you wait,
all that happens is that you get older!
~~~
I'm entering the "metallic years"...
silver in my hair, gold in my teeth
and lead in my bottom !!
~~~
I'm just a 16 year old girl,
locked in an old ladies body !
~~~
I'm not 40....
I'm 18 with 22 years of experience !
~~~
I'm not aging, I just need repotted.
I'm not aging....I'm marinating !!
I'm not as old as I used to be.
I'm not getting older, I'm getting bitter.
I'm not old....I'm a recycled teenager !!
I'm not old...I've just been young a very long time !!
I'm 39 1/2...(and that's my final answer !)
~~~
In order to be old and wise,
one must once be young and stupid.
~~~
Inside every older person
is a young person
wondering what the hell happened !
~~~
It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
~~~
It used to be wine, women and song...
now it's beer, the old lady and TV !!
~~~
It
was spring, But it was summer I wanted,
The warm
days, And the great outdoors.
It was summer, But it was fall I wanted,
The
colorful leaves, And the cool, dry air.
It was fall, But it was winter I wanted,
The
beautiful snow, And the joy of the season.
It was winter, But it was spring I wanted,
The
warmth, And the blossoming of nature.
I was a child, But it was adulthood I wanted,
The
freedom, And the respect.
I was 20, But it was 30 I wanted,
To be
mature, And sophisticated.
I was middle aged, But it was 20 I wanted,
The
youth, And the free spirit.
I was retired, But it was middle age I wanted,
The
presence of mind, Without limitations.
My life was over.
But I
never got what I wanted.
(written by a
13 yr old boy named Josh Lehman)
~~~
It's better to wear out than to rust out!
It's easier to get older than it is to get wiser...
~~~
It's frustrating when you know all the answers,
but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.

Middle age is when broadness of the mind
and narrowness of the waist change places.

Middle age is when the kids leave one by one...
only to return...two by two!!
~~~
Middle age is when you choose your cereal
for the fiber.....not the toy !!!
~~~
Middle age is when your narrow waist
and broad mind begin changing places.
~~~
My body has reached the age
where it either hangs out, falls out
or darn well wears out.
~~~
My mind wanders a lot but fortunately it's too weak to go very far.
Never Be The First To Get Old!!!!!
Of all the things I've lost...I miss my mind the most !
~~~
Old Age and Treachery
Beat Youth and Vigor.
~~~
Old age comes at a bad time.
~~~
Old age is NOT for sissy's !!
(Art Linkletter)
~~~
Once you're over the hill....you pick up speed !
~~~
Over 40 and still cookin'...!!
Over the Hill...pickin' up up speed !!
~~~
Please understand that no matter how old I get...
I will always be a kid at heart...
~~~
Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it !!
~~~
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to
forget the people I never liked anyway...
the good fortune to run into the ones that I do...
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
~~~
Sex after 60
is like shooting pool with a rope.
~~~
Some people, not matter how old they get,
never lose their beauty...
they merely move it from their faces
to their hearts.
~~~
The best part about waking up
is finding your teeth
are still in the cup!
~~~
The hardest part of growing older
is remembering when you were young.
~~~
The heart is the real fountain of youth.
The heart that gives love....is always young !!
The older I get, the better I used to be.
The older I get, the better I was.
~~~
The surprising thing about young fools
is how many survive to become old fools !
~~~
There's no fool like an old fool !

To be 70 years young is sometimes for more
cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.

We do not stop laughing because we grow old;
we grow old because we stop laughing.

We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
~~~
We don't have crow's feet....
We have laugh lines !!
~~~
We turn not older with years,
but newer every day.

We're all getting older at the same rate of speed.
We just got started at different times.
